Subject:How to reference document sections? From:"дл" <sdeichmann -at- voicemobility -dot- com> To:techwr-l Date:Fri, 18 Feb 2000 12:53:32 -0800
Is there a conventional way to reference document sections inside the same
document?
For example, in a user guide I have the following statement:
See the section "Adding Widgets" for more information.
I have been told that using quotation marks is incorrect, and that italics
should be used instead for the section name. Is one of these methods
considered correct? (Or another that I haven't mentioned?)
Thanks,
